Hi Santosh,
Things are a little bit more complex.
When the permanent MAC address of a VF is assigned by the PF driver, it
cannot be changed nor deleted by the VF through commands issued to the
PF driver. In this case, the function xgbevf_remove_mac_addr() must not
add the permanent MAC address
Hi
Looks like there is a bug in API "ixgbevf_remove_mac_addr()". For
deleting a given MAC it deletes all MAC (including permanent MAC) and
while adding (it does after few statements), it skips to add permanent
MAC.
ixgbevf_remove_mac_addr(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, uint32_t index)
{
...
Hi Ivan
ixgbevf_set_default_mac_addr() could not find in our code base.
put traces at other places as suggested by you.
Log at "eth_ixgbevf_dev_init" never displayed
Rest logs displayed as shown below. I re-build the driver module and
loaded on our virtual router and rebooted the system.
Hi Santosh,
My job at 6WIND does not consist in answering to DPDK questions. In
general, I have other priorities, including vacations...
In the meantime, nobody prevents you to add traces in the code to really
understand what happens, as suggested in my last answer.

Hi Santosh,
To explain what's really going on in your use case, it would be better
to add traces in the following functions of the ixgbevf PMD:
Ivan
At the end of eth_ixgbevf_dev_init()
printf("%s portid=%d mac=%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X\n",
__func__, dev->data->port_id,
Hi Ivan and team,
Please respond to my last mail and let me know if there is any
alternate way to handle this.
Our release is in pending due to this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I do not get exactly what you attempt to do on a VF.
Are you first deleting the so-called permanent MAC address by a call to the
function ixgbevf_remove_mac_addr() ? This operation is not allowed.
Can you explain exactly the sequence of operations that are done, so that I
can
Hi Ivan,
Thanks for your response.
Let me explain you the issue that we are facing on our virtual router
in VMware environment.
1. We are using ixgbe driver , SRIOV enabled .
